Print SubmissionsOnline SubmissionsSounds SubmissionsPrint Submissions Currently accepting pitches for: The Movement Edition In The Movement Edition, we explore that which animates us from the cellular level to the cultural. Where and how does inner movement become something external? What can muscle learn from movements of social justice, or vice versa? How do we know ourselves through the orbit of planets, or the flocking of birds? When does motion become a movement, and movement become a metamorphosis?
